change an approximate 5 acre.tract.out of a 12.908 acre.tract
in the Henry Tierwester Survey, AB..1241, Tract 62, to be
changed from R-1 (Single Family) to.LB.(Local Business). Mr.
Schafer spoke in favor of the change -and pointed out he had
left a strip .of land 100' deep along Keeton Road for residen
tial lots. He recognized the opposition from residents on the
west side of Keeton Road and felt houses.on this.strip.would
? act as a buffer between the .present residents and the local
business to be developed.on this tract. He stated projected
businesses would include mini -warehouses, recreational vehicle
sales and service and a restaurant.
Mr. Schafer said he had several offers. to sell the property
but it is his intent to keep it and develop it. He stated
he plans to keep it mowed and will landscape -it along the
drainage ditch.

privacy fence along the west side of the tract being considered.
Mr. Schafer said he had considered a chainlink.fence with ever-
green trees.
Bill Rice spoke against the request and asked that the. lots for
housing be made 145' deep rather than 100 feet to comply with
the depth of his lots on the north.
Frank Smith expressed concern regarding the width of the street
right-of-way.
Bob Roberts pointed out that Mr. Schafer had named several bus-
inesses he planned to locate on this tract and.stated "what-
ever else" he could bring in that would be appropriate. Mr.
Roberts asked the P. & Z. Commission to consider the what-
ever else" saying once- this is changed we loose control if
what comes in.
.After further discussion Mr. Schaffer agreed to move the west
line of the property being considered twenty five (25') feet
to the east leaving the strip for residents one hundred twenty
five feet (125') deep. This proposal was. acceptable to all
vresent who were in opposition.
